Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Pie Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For Serving

  • Hot fudge sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or a springform pan thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter with 2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs later.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together for about 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Lower the mixer speed to low and slowly pour in the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients and Remaining Chocolate Chips: With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Then fold in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for added gooey texture.
  6. Bake the Pie: Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate or springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The pie’s center should be puffed but still quite jiggly, and the surface will form a crackly top crust.
  7. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature to set the gooey center.
  8. Serve: Slice the brownie pie and drizzle generously with hot fudge sauce just before serving for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a springform pan for easier removal and serving, though a pie plate works well too.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly for the perfect gooey texture.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and set filling.
  • For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans in with the chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
